Recycling SF 6 Gas Our customers benefit from our value proposition for recycling SF 6 gas and equipment: • Environmentally friendly service • SF 6 gas reclaimed and recycled • Sustainable equipment disposal
Reducing the Impact of SF 6 Gas S&C is focused on managing SF 6 gas emissions, which have a high global warming potential. Our efforts include ongoing development of a program to decommission end-of-life product units for our customers and reclaim the SF 6 gas from this equipment to be recycled. We also reclaim and recycle SF 6 gas in our operations while maintaining our ambition to transition our operations from virgin to recycled SF 6 gas. Our product portfolio includes several innovative solutions that provide alternatives to traditional gas- insulated switchgear and do not depend on SF 6 gas: Vista® SD and Vista® Green Underground Distribution Switchgear and the Scada-Mate® SD Switching System. As part of our decarbonization strategy, one of our 2030 goals is to develop alternatives for Scada-Mate switching products that still rely on SF 6 gas. All of our gas-insulated products, including circuit-switcher products, are sealed for life to minimize their environmental impact compared to products that require field gas-filling and maintenance.
• Full documentation for compliance reporting • Full, but flexible, service options for work location and customer responsibilities In 2023, we invested in equipment to support the expansion of our product life cycle program. This equipment will allow us to offer reclamation and recycling services to customers operating S&C products using SF 6 gas that have reached the end of their service lifetime. Team members were trained on operation of this equipment in 2023, and this will allow us to begin offering both onsite and turnkey service options to our customers in 2024.
S&C was recognized for Excellence in Innovation by the Economic Development Commission in Franklin, Wisconsin. The nomination honors S&C’s continuous efforts in customer-centered innovation, operational excellence, and investment in local communities.
